We all know that losing weight can be a long, difficult journey. To start making some changes, we need to determine what is motivating you to make a change. Are you trying to avoid health problems, feel better, have more energy, be able to play with your children or grandchildren, or sleep better? Whatever your reasons, once you've identified how to be healthy, sticking to a plan gets so much easier.
Here are 10 tips to help you make meaningful changes in your weight loss journey.
#1 Focus on Healthy Lifestyle Changes
Rather than depriving yourself of calories, consider these factors that can contribute to weight management. Are you getting a good night's sleep? Exercising regularly? Drinking plenty of water?
#2 Set Realistic and Achievable Goals
Goals focused on healthy living are more sustainable than those driven only by weight loss. Set smaller feasible goals that you are in control of instead. Let each task/goal be a building block that leads to a big change.
#3 Set a Specific Start Date
The best time to start is NOW! Set your goals, get focused, and get to work. Don't keep pushing your goals aside; start today!
#4 Set Goals that have Nothing to do with Weight
It's not always about the number on the scale. What is more important is how you feel. Try to focus on goals like fitting into a particular article of clothing or keeping up with your dog on a walk.
#5 Engage in Daily-Structured Activities including Exercise
The more you include exercising in your daily routine, the easier it will be to get it done. Set aside time, and stick with it.
#6 Make Healthy Eating a Daily Activity
Healthy eating doesn't have to be boring. Mixing up your meals is a big component of sticking with your program.
#7 Adopt New Habits Slowly
As you embark on your weight loss journey, make sure your lifestyle changes are sustainable. By maintaining a balanced diet of whole foods and your favorite foods, you'll be more likely to stick with this new lifestyle long-term. Know that you don't have to make all of your new lifestyle changes at once. Take your time, and slowly start to adopt new habits.
